The Stack
Each layer is open, interoperable, and independently adoptable. Implement one or all.
The surface creators touch. Chat, Worlds, Studio, Forge. All built on the layers below.
Persistent, connected creations. Characters, locations, magic, lore — stored as markdown + JSONML, indexed as pgvector embeddings.
Open registry for Luminors, Companions, and custom agents. Each agent has an Agent Card (A2A spec), reputation, and portable identity.
Sovereign creator identity. Link your social profiles, on-chain wallets, Suno account, Custom GPTs. IP licensing via Story Protocol.
Smart-contract royalties on remixes. x402 micropayments for agent inference. Token-gated content. All optional, all opt-in.
BYOK inference + portable storage. Run locally, on Vercel, on your own cloud. We never hold your keys.
What's included
Every spec is a Markdown document. Every implementation is MIT licensed. Every standard is yours to adopt.
Every Luminor, Companion, or custom agent gets a portable Agent Card (A2A-compatible). Reputation travels with the agent.

How contributors work
Read a spec, build an implementation, submit your test results. That's it.
Each protocol is a single Markdown document in the GitHub repo. Spec, rationale, and examples in one place.
Reference implementations in TypeScript, Rust, and Python. All MIT licensed. Fork, adapt, ship.
Submit your test suite results to the Arcanean Protocol Registry. Earn a conformance badge visible on your agent cards.
Governance
Open process, public RFCs, community maintainers. No decisions behind closed doors.
Any change to the protocol starts as an AIP — a structured document modeled on EIPs. Anyone can author one. The community debates it. Core team ratifies.
Major changes go through a 30-day public comment period before merging. All feedback is on GitHub Issues, in the open.
Core team ships the reference impls. Community maintainers own conformance tests. Merged by reputation, not by company affiliation.
The Sovereignty Promise
Your keys, not ours
BYOK at every layer. We never hold, log, or mark up your API keys.
Your IP, not licensed to us
Zero claims on your output. No training on your creations. Export anytime.
Your data, not trained on
Inference runs on your keys. Nothing is used to improve our models without consent.
Your community, not captured
Open spec means other platforms can implement it. You are never locked in.
Start building
Read the AIPs, implement a layer, or join the discussion. The protocol belongs to every creator who builds on it.
